Abstract: A method and apparatus (200) for generating a sender authenticatable codeword (152) for transmission in an uplink to a satellite are presented. A method and apparatus (202) for authenticating a codeword (152) transmitted in a satellite uplink are also presented. The generation of a sender authenticatable codeword (152) is performed by combining an information block (143) and an authenticating filling sequence block (144). A parity block (148) is formed over the combined block (146) and the resultant true codeword (150) is truncated to remove part or all of the authenticating filling sequence block (144).      Authentication of the codeword (152) is performed by receiving an observable (152') and combining an authenticating filling sequence block (144') with the observable (152') to form an extended observable (150').      The extended observable (150') is decoded and a decoded observable and an error rate estimate formed. Authenticity is then determined based on the error rate estimate, which may be an error rate estimate for the authenticating filling sequence block (144') portion of the decoded observable (154').

Granted: 2002-03-05
Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for treating produced water from a heavy oil thermal recovery unit to achieve water recovery and recycle levels of greater than 80% and as high as 100% to achieve zero discharge criteria. The method includes the initial steps of capturing the waste heat energy from the high pressure steam separator located downstream of the steam generators. Further, transferring the heat energy into a heated separator and reboiler exchanger to distill oil reservoir produced water and recover distilled water and a concentrated brine or solid product. The heated separator concentrated stream is circulated through the reboiler exchanger to maintain from 1% to about 50% mass vapour in the stream returning to the heated separator and prevent fouling and scaling. The apparatus includes a low pressure waste energy separator, heated separator and vapour compressor in combination with a forced circulation circuit to generate the distilled water.

Title: Spacer for insulated windows having a lengthened thermal path
Inventor: PETERSON WALLACE H
IPC: E06B3/667
Filed: 2000-07-18
Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: A spacer frame bar for insulated windows or other insulated glass panels. The bar includes a tubular spacer member having first and second side webs for engaging the spaced apart glass panes, and upper and lower webs spanning between the side webs.  The upper web is provided with a series of vertical corrugations, which serve to increase the length of the thermal conductive path across the upper web. The corrugations are also arranged so that only the upper edges thereof are exposed to sunlight passing through the window, thereby minimizing thermal gain due to absorption of solar radiation.  Staggered rows of slits may be formed in the channels of the corrugations to as to further increase the length of the conductive path. The channels may also be filled with an insulating material, such as a resilient foam material. The invention also provides a two-piece construction in which the top web clips onto the upper edges of the side webs.

Abstract: The present invention provides multi-well plates and column arrays in which samples (e.g., cell lysates containing nucleic acids of interest, such as RNA) can be analyzed and/or processed. In one embodiment, the microfiltration arrangement is a multilayer structure, including: (i) a column plate having an array of minicolumns into which samples can be placed; (ii) a discrete filter element disposed in each minicolumn; (iii) a drip-director plate having a corresponding array of drip directors through which filtrate may egress; and (iv) a receiving-well plate having a corresponding array of receiving wells into which filtrate can flow. The invention provides multi-well microfiltration arrangements that are relatively simple to manufacture and that overcome many of the problems associated with the prior arrangements relating to: (i) cross-contamination due to wicking across a common filter sheet or (ii) individual filter elements entrapping sample constituents within substantial dead volumes. Further, the invention provides multi-well microfiltration arrangements that adequately support discrete filter elements disposed in the wells without creating substantial preferential flow. additionally, the invention provides multi-well microfiltration arrangements that avoid cross-contamination due to aerosol formation, pendant drops and/or splattering. Other disclosed features of the invention provide for the automated covering or heat-sealing of filtrate samples separately collected in an array of wells.
